"I hate to be persistent, but I did respond to your false claim that Governor DeSantis “outright lied” to the people of Florida."

Nice try.

Is it normal for Governors, especially those who call themselves Conservatives, to get the State Legislature they have a majority in, to change the laws so that it benefits one specific person...the person who wants to run for higher office? If you think that's normal, and not self-serving, then I question your values.

I highly doubt, that if a Florida RAT Governor did the same thing, you'd be as willing to accept it, as you are of DeSantis. Double standards suck.

I have not hit the panic button yet despite your dramatic and slightly scary reference to Governors getting “THE STATE LEGISLATURE THEY HAVE A MAJORITY IN TO CHANGE THE LAWS . . .”

I would find it more unusual for Governors getting legislatures they don't have a majority in to change the laws. Let's set that aside for a moment.

I don't see anything wrong with DeSantis running in the presidential primary while at the same time serving as governor.

As far as that goes, I didn't see anything wrong with Florida's Rick Scott running for federal office while serving as Governor. Neither did you; you actually invited admiration for Scott in your post 49.
